This series is going to be worth it just to see Cassandra Cain as Batgirl again:

Well Tom Taylor already had my money with Red Hood, but Cass as Batgirl and Rose as Deathstroke guarentee first day pick up.
I thought it was odd that the last series ended with Harley left on the doomed Earth considering the writer now I get why. Harley wasn't just making the ultimate sacrifice for love, the story just wasn't over.
I mean just because other members of the family are doing more questionable things and walking a darker path doesn't excuse the times in Rebirth when we've seen Jason stray into heroic path.
Batman and his allies actions aren't the benchmark it just means that we have members of the family being well doing bad/ villainous things. Things are rotten in Gotham without Dick Grayson
Also this is an alternate universe so we don't know how Cass and Jason operate
I'm hyped. There is so much good stuff.
- Jason, Slade, Rose and Cass - so much potential for awesome dynamics
- amazing covers - I can't decide which one is my favorite
- written by Tom Taylor
- Karl Mostert and Rex Lokus (I loved their DCeased variant for Red Hood: Outlaw #39)
- only three issues - short but hopefully intense
- the story is set at the same time as the first run - which is good. Because I haven't finished DCeased yet.
I'm surprised that there haven't been any big rumors before the announcement. Because there have been hints on Twitter:
Back in July when Tom Taylor posted all the DCeased variants, he mentioned that the DCeased variant cover by Mostert had inspired him to write somehing.
And in October Mostert also hinted at something.
I don't consider anyone in the batfamily a "hero". They are all vigilantes in my book. That's it (except maybe Jason who I do, in addition, consider an anti-hero). I also don't consider Slade a "villain" but if the comic wants to use the terms anti-hero and villain than I'm okay with it. I trust Tom Taylor to write a story that Jason, Slade, Rose and Cass fans will enjoy.
I just want to see Bane backbreak a few of the undead, even if it's futile.
Looks like i gotta check this out, I've heard nothing but good things about this.
